The following is an excerpt from the article, " Cheney accused of
corporate fraud":
Andersen video
"Our correspondent says that, almost as
embarrassing for Mr Cheney is a promotional
videotape he made praising the now disgraced
accounting firm Andersen.
The video, which fell into the hands of the Wall
Street Journal, was made in 1996 when Mr
Cheney was at Halliburton and showed his
personal relationship with Andersen.
In it, he describes how Andersen gave advice
"over and above" what would normally be
expected from auditors.
In a short section of the video, Mr Cheney
says: "I get good advice, if you will, from their
people, based upon how we are doing business
and how we are operating, over and above the
normal, by-the-books auditing arrangement."
Last month, Andersen was convicted of
obstructing justice by shredding documents
relating to the failed US energy giant Enron. " |
